Suspended the betting at Ladbrokes on Moyes...

Would you honestly give over? Every hour you are back reminding us of his odds. This whole board is mostly about opinion and an opinion is like an arse hole everyone has one. The fact that the odds on Moyes have shorted today is because the opinion today has shifted and the bookies are reacting to that fact. It's certainly significant posting the bookie odds because it's a collective opinion rather than an individual one. Of course. And that opinion keeps constantly changing with people being moved up and dropping back in favour. Hitzfeld last week, Sven two weeks before that. Bradley since O'Neill left. Says a lot about that collective opinion if it keeps changing. Everyone got excited last week about Hitzfelds odds being drastically cut. All I'm saying is don't get excited about odds. You are right the bookies react. However, people react to stories and rumours they hear and throw money on that name. Someone has probably placed a big bet on Moyes, alongside those other bets and thats why his odds have been cut. That and Everton fans seem to be turning against him? Interestingly, perhaps, David Moyes 5/2 favourite to be next premier league manager to leave his job...I don't know if thats directly related to being favourite for Villa, or if there is something else happening.

I really don't see us poaching a manager current employed by another club. That would appear to rule out Moyes, Jol and Hughes. and Sven for me, he's notorious for chasing the money.

Eh? Hypothetically...... So if Moyes came to Villa and MON went to Everton, you reckon Villa would do better than Everton ? If resources remain the same as they have for the past 3/4 years, then definately.

From the Villa insider in twitter Villa_Insider #AVFC Sidwell talks with West Brom today Lets hope its true - a complete waste of money for the past 2 years.

I'm sure I read it a few pages back.

MM says it won't be Hughes

I'm thinking Alex McLeish....he'd get linched by the Blue noses though.

And your quite sure it wasn't David Dickinson....?

May as well get the money for him. Won't achieve anything with him, won't achieve anything without him - doesn't really make much difference...

Would love Hitzfeld - would be too good to be true though, so I'm not getting my hopes up...

What a shower of a squad we've got. It really shows how much money MON wasted, and what a squad Spurs have got with similar outlay. We have to look abroad for signings. We've done the "let's give the home grown players a try" and it doesn't work - they are SHIT.

We look awful General, I really hope Randy has something up his sleeve. MON has really blown Randy's money on this shower...

I'm warming to the idea of Lambert getting the job. I think he would be a Moyes type appointment. He's served his time at the lower levels (pretty sure he got Wycombe to semis of the league cup!), and he has played at the top of european football too (won european cup as a player), and up to now, he's done a great job at every club he has managed. Would be a lot less of a gamble than KM, IMO.

2-1 Kiev just scored, what was the score in the first leg?

I don't know if it's been mentioned today or not, but Roy Keane's odds have gone from about 40/1 to 10/1 today.....??

Maybe MM got his info directly from MON....?

As is things couldn't get more depressing, Bob Bradley is odds on favourite with Sky Bet. Hopefully just to do with his comments today, and no substance to it.

5-0 I feel so sick. What a miserable week coming up!

I feel 100% totally embarrassed to be even ever so slightly associated with Villa at the moment. The manager walks out 5 days before the season starts, we sell our best player, we have spent 0 this summer, and we're being mullered by a championship team.

Doh!

Do do do Nigel Reo Coker!!

I really hope Randy has at least an idea of who he wants now. We need to try and get some transfer business done in the last week.

Oh, joy, Heskey is coming on. We'll definately score 3 now!!
